- SituationSet the scene in two or three sentences: where, when, what was at stake.
- TaskWhat you were responsible for, and what made it hard.
- ActionThe steps you took yourself. This should be the longest part.
- ResultWhat happened, with numbers if you have them, and what you learned.
What interviewers listen for
- A specific team, a specific problem, and the decision you personally made.
- How you brought people along: the conversations, the trade-offs you explained, who disagreed.
- A result you can measure, such as delivery dates, attrition, promotions or quality.
Common mistakes
- Saying "we" for every step, so the panel cannot tell what you did.
- A management philosophy with no story behind it.
